The curse of awareness is that once you see it, you can't unsee it. You begin to notice what's hiding beneath the surface—the masks people wear, the games they play, and the motives they keep concealed. 

At first, you try to explain it. You try to share what you've noticed. But eventually you're met with the same response: you're overthinking, overreacting, or simply crazy. So you stop talking. 

Not because you've stopped believing what you see, but because you've realized not everyone wants to see it. Yet even in silence, you never stop observing.
